Founding Agent: Voice AI for Websites with Fast Retrieval

Moss, a company focused on retrieval speed, built a voice AI agent for their own website to handle repetitive questions from visitors. The agent answers questions about pricing, integrations, implementation, and product capabilities — grounded in the company's website, documentation, FAQs, presentations, and internal knowledge. Responses happen in milliseconds. Visitors talk naturally, no forms or chat windows.
Problem and Approach
Most websites are static pages. Visitors who are interested but not ready to book a meeting click around or leave. Moss wanted retrieval that felt conversational — fast enough for real-time Q&A. They built a voice agent directly on their site. It uses Moss's retrieval infrastructure to pull answers from company content instantly.
Result and Productization
After going live, visitors started asking the same questions Moss founders answer daily — about infrastructure, integrations, pricing, etc. — but the agent answered them. This reduced repetitive work and led to better qualified conversations. Other companies asked if they could use it too. That's how Founding Agent was born.

Early Access
